In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

“In Hollywood, actress Patricia Arquette is urging Americans to join a one-day economic shutdown in order to damage the U.S. economy — and Trump: A REMINDER: Please contact everyone you know. On Monday, March 2nd, there is an Economic Shutdown. #Shutitdown. It’s easy,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON ANYTHING ANYWHERE. our goal is to cause a $238.2 billion dollar blip on the federal government’s records.”

She isn’t the only liberal openly hoping for a recession. HBO’s “Real Time” host Bill Maher said last year: “So I’ve been saying for about two years that I hope we have a recession. A recession would be very worth getting rid of Donald Trump and these kind of policies.”

The end justifies the means. The end is power. Total. Limitless. Power. And once they seize it, they won’t let pesky little things like the Constitution, laws, or the votes of the people get in the way of achieving permanent ascendancy.

If he truly had dementia, I believe, SOMEONE who cares about him would put a stop to him campaigning any further. Maybe someone has, but I haven’t seen anything reported on it.
I would sound like I had dementia too if it kept me out of prison. I just don’t buy it.

The artist story came in to change the subject over a preceding story that the Judge won’t allow Hunter to delay his deposition to reveal the sources of his income. Hunter wanted to wait until after April 1, after his father had finished campaigning in the primaries.

He’s being kept in the race to prevent Sanders from being the candidate. Also there’s plenty of campaign moolah involved. And to try and protect the corruption spigot.

His handlers don’t care what he does or what he looks like. I’m not certain Joe is aware how foolish and stupid he looks. So what does it matter that he belongs in the remembrance wing? Profit and power are the goals.

I like the Beto possibility. President Trump brings his name quite often during his rallies. He might know something. I was wondering why. Beto is finished , however the President treats him like he is a possible adversary.

Amazing how Dems are so concerned about community spread among Americans and travel restrictions, but completely ignore the massive flow of foreigners (including over 1000 Chinese last year) who cross our southern border with ZERO screening!!

“Chinese nationals represent the largest migrant group currently being apprehended outside of Mexican and Central American migrants, Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol officials told Breitbart Texas during a recent tour of the border. During a ride-along with riverine agents, Breitbart Texas witnessed the apprehension of three Chinese migrants and the arrest of an alleged human smuggler. During Fiscal Year 2019, agents in this sector apprehended 708 Chinese nationals — 1077 nationwide.”

“Speaking to The Post Millennial, McInnes said “isn’t it incredible that CPAC is inviting antifa to their conference and then having antifa decide who can and can’t be there. We have reached a new level of cuck.”

“CPAC is regularly rejecting conservatives for being too edgy, yet antifa literally gets a free pass. This is a problem with America in a nutshell: not only do we not stand up for ourselves, but we all but seek out the groups who want to destroy us, and then invite them into our homes and say do your worst,” he added.”

We better see some results from the Ratcliffe nomination after licking Mitch McConnell’s sack for so long. I don’t like Infowars, but censorship IS WRONG POTUS. IT’S WRONG! IT’S NOT AMERICAN. THIS IS A DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST MOVE!

Once again, Catherine Austin Fitts shares insight on the weaponization of our government and just who is doing this to us?

One point I found interesting (and tend to concur with her summary) is that Putin’s Russia is not the USSR of old. Suslov’s death, to my mind, ended that angry, Stallinist arm of communism. Now Putin fights the same global mafia as all do, but is trying to humanize the country and, unlike most other leaders except PDJT, bring back religion as a balance to fast-moving technology and its subhumanism.

She also covers the missing $21 trillion and the use of the $28 trillion bail-out to banks — where did it go and how was it spent; the use of opiods to control the population dating back to 1995; the use of Gender X to provide robots with “rights” similar to citizens for future control as human are not longer necessary; vaccines and other pharma as tools to govern by technocracy; money as an invisible, global government system that is controlled by ? — do we know?

Anyway, food for thought — as if you Treepers need any more of such calories. Dark Jounalist hosts on 2/28/20: AI Superpowers and the Black Budget

What is the name of the restaurant? I am in Tucson now and will go there tomorrow.
BTW, on the corner of 6th and 12th (I think) there is a park and today the nutjobs
had a mini gathering with tents and song. These people are some of the ugliest,
unkept people I have ever seen. And to see 100 enmasse is quite a sight.
There was a “Feel the Bern” tent with skanky women and men with wiry gray
hair and beards acting like they knew something. Numerous tents with
anti Trump signs, blaming him for anything they could think of. We walked
through it just for fun….it was a hoot! If this is all they got!

His advisors probably figure that if Bloomberg says that tomorrow “X” should be done and then down the road “X” is done by Trump (such as, say, banning travel from the whole of Italy), Bloomberg will look prescient, Trump will look late. If travel from the whole of Italy never does have to happen, people will forget what Bloomberg said should happen. They’ll see this address as a “win” no matter what.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday suspended an order issued earlier in the day that blocked the Remain-in-Mexico policy — the cornerstone of the Trump administration’s efforts in curbing the crisis at the southern border.

The panel in San Francisco had ruled in a 2-1 vote to put a hold on the policy — formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). But it later voted to suspend the order and told the government to file written arguments by the end of Monday and for the plaintiffs to respond by the end of Tuesday.

the historically crazy “9th circus” does not want an emergency application to the Supreme Court, based on emergency Executive action to prevent corona virus spread.

Negative consequences for this court would be enormous if any corona virus was traced to their crazy, nationwide order opening the border. And that qwould assure success the ongoing DOJ effort to prevent nationwide injunctions from local cases in crazy activist judge jurisdictions.

Also likely, some of the recently-appointed PDJT judges told the 2 illegal immigration lover judges on this panel that they would lose an emergency en banc review by all the judges of the 9th circus?

I am amazed by these reports from Brad that show how many people did not vote in 2016. Just amazing..that election was basically for the life of this country ( luckily PDJT won so our country still exists!) I think this next election will be a landslide! Praying!

Paul Singer is a cutthroat investor. Usually, when he buys a stake in a company the current boards begin to shake. It generally means the company in on shaky ground and Singer is about to gut the company. He doesn’t give a crap about employee either so twitter may see a lot of upper management leaving before the blood starts letting.

Representative Devin Nunes laid out a couple of really important statements regarding the Injustice currently involving General Flynn:

“The frustrating part about this is that I know because I was on the Trump transition team. One the things Gen. Flynn wanted to do — he thought it was critically important that we empty out the swamp of all the senior intelligence folks who are in Washington, DC.

S0, they had a real reason to get rid of Gen. Flynn because he was going to downsize the [White House] NSC [National Security Council], downsize the rest of the IC [intelligence community] elements in the swamp [and] push people out in the field because that’s were you get real intelligence. ”

Then he brought up the work of John Durham,

“So, I feel your pain. I know what you want. We’re trying to do everything we can — Republicans in Congress to do what we have the power to do. We don’t have handcuffs. We don’t have guns. We don’t have badges. What we can do is provide evidence so we can make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice … I have faith that [U.S. Attorney John] Durham is going to get to the bottom of this.”

Any body have thoughts, good, bad or indifferent about this?

Mr. Nunes has always seem to be a Patriot. Apparently his ace investigator, Kash Patel is headed for good purposes in the NSC.

I was especially intrigued by his comments about providing evidence to Mr. Durham…

Go In-Depth @CBSNews First TV interview POTUS nominee to lead US intel community @RepRatcliffe “I think one of the overriding priorities for me is to ensure that our intelligence community becomes entirely apolitical and get past the finger-pointing…” https://t.co/VByVqtRT1v

With all the hysterical “news” being spewed I found it is nice to note the following:
Kids sports games were still conducted
Sporting event on TV seemed to be well attended
The stores were full
The gym I use was in normal use
People still greeted each other
Not a single racial comment was made to the many Asians who were out and about

In other words people were moving on with life, a little more cautious and aware, but life is continuing in a NORMAL way.

Now if only Wall Street, the Democrat Party and their media-celebrity sycophants would get the message.
